Hi guys, Just after some general ideas please. Have 3 contracts up on 2 October (me, hubby and my sis). Have all been on 3 but tbh want to get better all round service from our mobiles.

We're all on the mix & match 1100 plan for about £25 a month.

There must be better offers out there with any other providers... can't seem to figure it out though -got all confused! Anyone steer me to any good deals - considering we're looking for 3 new contracts!

Many thanks for any replies x

If you are happy with your mobiles then why not sim only? I would much rather go down this route as you are only tied down to 30 days contract at a time.
T mobile £25 800 mins unlimited texts or for £20 T mobile,Orange,Vodafone do 600mins and unlimited texts.Since you are taking out 3 new contracts you might have a chance to haggle with those networks including Virgin.Very much doubt you will get anything extra out of O2.
Failing that i reckon 3 will deffo haggle with you when you start the process of ending your current deal with them.

Your best bet is to ring through to rententions and see what they can offer you. I'm also in a similar position, in that I manage 3 contracts, last year paid nothing for the whole year for all three contracts. This year not so good, rentetions are offering me 800 mins, 18month contract, but with £540 cashback, effectively £5p/m

thanks guys! both of your replies are good ideas. HATE three with a passion and always get really rubbish retention offers from them, e.g. last one was same as open new customers but just got so fed up we just went forit in the end - quidco never paid out either!

Two of us need new phones - but again may be cheaper to buy phone separately and go forsim options? Will also try virgin as me and sis have the broadband and landline so will see what they offer. thanks again guys

If you're on Virgin Media at home, you'll probably find you get a good deal from Virgin re mobile. I deserted the sinking 3 ship and have taken out a SIM only deal with Virgin. I pay £25 pm for 700 mins and unlimited texts, plus as a Virgin media customer, I get unlimited internet and unlimited Virgin to Virgin calls. They also have deals for reconditioned phones too. Am very happy with my deal. Hope that helps.
